More playset photos - Moonbase
Today I'm posting the a new photo that's part of the playsets series I started earlier. I've picked up a number of used playsets over the past week, almost all are from Ebay. This marks a transition away from relying on my own old playsets for the series, as well as a more selective process of choosing my source material (in the past I've relied more on my local Goodwill and dollar store - this is the first time I've spent hours sifting through hundreds of items online). There's lots to be said about this particular Moonbase playset - both in terms of what it is and how I photographed it, but for now I just want to put it out there.

New photos (Firehouse, Barn, & Bedroom)
I can't say that I'm quite ready to talk about these photos, but I wanted to share my latest tinkerings, even if they are entirely unpolished. That being said, here's the deal:
These are photographs of some playsets that my mom recently pulled out of her basement, where she's long stored all of the toys my brothers and I used to play with. I was immediately fascinated with them; it'd been so long since I'd seen them that I could remember how I used to see them, and see them in a totally new way too. At the same time, I'd been thinking about working with models since so many of my series had to do with inhabiting a small space, shifts in scale, etc. Oddly, I tried to find some models at my local thrift store before borrowing these from my mom.
So these are early efforts. More work needs to be done. I just broke my last light bulb, so this seems like as good a stopping point as any to throw them up here, and think about them. Oh, and there's one more note - the third one, I believe, is a more recent purchase of my mom's, meaning that I didn't grow up with this one. At least, I don't think I did.
